But he's right we didn't.
Virtually every play went to the much weaker winger and I mean much weaker winger as did most of the kicks. After the first 20 mins, I had to ask if T was actually playing he was so uninvolved.
It's just a tragedy where that lad is concerned. He's no fool, he knows he'll never get as much ball at Trinity as he will at a top club but if there was one downer on last week and most weeks for that matter it's the STARVATION of Johnstone.
Try and cast your minds back to the last time that lad got a pass that put him into space? Space for TJ now appears to be the square inch between the sideline and the touchline. A few meters out is pure luxury, from his own half, forget it. There are trainers on the sideline who get to run further than Johnstone in a match.
If the Chester out brigade need to make their case it's hard to overlook this lads plight and yes I do blame the coaching for this one.

And where did it get us? We went toe to toe with the best team in the league and for a large part of the game a win was in our grasps.
Scoring a try for Trinity has been a luxury recently, never mind one particular player scoring/been put in space.
